ECOP1003: Global Economy: Production-Trade-Finance (2024)

This unit explores global economic integration, especially the renewed 'globalisation' from the 1980s. You will be introduced to different explanatory theories of changing historical patterns. You will analyse debates about whether increased trade, production and financial integration has been for the better or worse, and who have been the winners and the losers. You will concurrently explore the forms of, and debates about, the regulation of economic activity on a global scale, addressing the development and changing roles of states and international agencies.

SSPS4111: The Future of Work (2024) 

Technological disruption, demographic change, globalisation and economic transformation are having a profound impact on the quantity and quality of jobs, how and by whom work is undertaken as well as the distribution of income and well-being. Such changes make the future of work challenging for all societies in the 21st Century. This project unit offers students the opportunity to explore the historical, contemporary and potential future(s) of the role of 'work' in the national and international context. Students will engage in primary and secondary research, with research experts within and external to the University, and apply social science expertise to contemporary public debate.

"Education as the practice of freedom—as opposed to education as the practice of domination—denies that man is abstract, isolated, independent, and unattached to the world; it also denies that the world exists as a reality apart from people. Authentic reflection considers neither abstract man nor the world without people, but people in their relations with the world. In these relations consciousness and world are simultaneous: consciousness neither precedes the world nor follows it." 

– Paulo Freire
